Recently, I have been watching the film “The Emperor’s New Groove” again, but now in English and with subtitles also in English. In fact, I watched it a long time ago dubbed into Spanish and I have discovered that it is funnier in English. It is a Disney cartoon film and the plot is about how the Emperor Cuzco turns into a llama when he drinks a potion, and how a humble farmer called Pacha helps him to recover his normal appearance. All the characters are very nice, from the small “squirrel-scout” to the stupid bodyguard, even the “wicked witch” (we must remember that in every Disney film there is at least a “villain”) There are some very funny things, for example when Pacha and Cuzco fall down into the river from a bridge or when they go to a restaurant. A curious thing is, as with the rest of foreign films in Spain, that the Spanish title “El Emperador y sus locuras” has nothing to do with the original. I wonder who chooses the Spanish titles. To sum up, in my opinion it is a very advisable film, especially if you can stand the original version for 90 minutes more or less. The only one problem you can find is to understand what Cuzco is saying because he speaks really fast.
